Today my home state Senator @npub12dlh...kjjv has proposed a Federal Bill to create a private right of action for individuals who were harmed by a gender-transition procedure performed on them when they were minors. A pathway forward towards justice for those harmed. I was just notified that the Bill has been given a short title, "Jamie Reed Protecting Our Kids from Child Abuse Act" image
The @The New York Times publishes one sided criticism on the EO, "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation" using the phrase 'gender affirming' by @npub1l537...k73l and [@amy_harmon](

New Finnish Study: Transgender Identity is Associated with Bullying Involvement Among Finnish Adolescents.
Frontiers | Transgender Identity Is Associated With Bullying Involvement Among Finnish Adolescents
A small group of clinicians in the Netherlands went fishing. What they were seeking to do was to find the children that would go on to have ‘lifetime’ troubles with their biological sex and intervene when they were young. Why? Because the transsexual adults that they were working with were not doing very well. Let me repeat that- the transsexual adults were not doing very well. When they cast out the first net and looked at what they caught, they found a net filled with gay and lesbian young people, I will call these children proto gay. We know that they were gay and lesbian young people because they told us so, they told us that as adolescents they were same sex attracted. So, they took this first catch and they transitioned them. Not because they knew with any certainty that they would go on to have lifetime troubles with their biological sex, but because society has a problem with the way that gays and lesbians live within their sex. We were expendable. We were ok to be harmed, and have our endocrine systems destroyed with wrong sex hormones. We were ok to have our fertility taken away. We were ok to have our sexual function stripped away. Then the British went fishing and they cast a wider net and the times they were changing. This time they caught the proto gay young, and the vulnerable- the children with autism, with trauma. And they transitioned them. Then the American’s caught wind and they cast the widest net along, they cast their nest across this country, in every state and area they cast a net and pulled in what they could catch and now we began to see a problem. They were still catching the proto gay kids, the vulnerable, children with autism, mental health concerns, trauma, but now they were catching a new group. A group of girls influenced by tik toc and hurt by covid lock downs, a group of straight girls, with private insurance and caring liberal parents and they transitioned them all. And now the problem became clear. As those girls began to realize what had been done to them and they stepped forward and said stop this is hurting us. Now we see a response. Now we see the world react. It was a crisis when it was the Dutch and the proto gay kids. It was a crisis when it was the British and the proto gay kids and the autistic kids. It is a global crisis now and everyone needs to fucking stop fishing.
New from the UK, court rules to not allow a 16 year old girl to move ahead with hormones. Why this is important- 16 year olds are usually judged to be able to make medical decisions in the UK.
